Street Scenes of NYC in the 1970s

The campaign for Husband Liberation, drug dealing and City slickers - the throb of life on the streets of 1970s NYC

  1. NYC

 

We’re back to New York City in the 1970s. Stories of that time in the city are legend. Copper Gangs and truants, playing on the streets of Brooklyn, big cars, tight-knit neighborhoods on the Lower East Side, subterranean fury, police on the furious beat, music and dancing with dangerous women and living low on The Battery. And above all else life – the city teaming with life with all its colors, noise and complexity.
